Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of Healing Voices Project features Krystyna Boisjolie and Talia Magnani from the RFK Community Alliance, who are on a mission to protect and educate communities about the hidden dangers of sex trafficking. Based in Massachusetts, the RFK Community Alliance provides a broad range of services, from youth engagement and mentoring to supported living programs for young adults seeking independence.
Krystyna, a seasoned professional with a background in criminal justice, shares her journey from overseeing foster care programs to becoming a vice president at RFK. Her passion for social work shines through as she discusses the organization's efforts to keep young people out of detention and help them become productive members of society. Talia, a survivor mentor, uses her own experiences to connect with and support young people who have been victims of human trafficking.
Her role involves not only mentoring but also raising awareness about the prevalence of trafficking in local communities—often closer to home than many might think. The episode dives into the challenges of internet safety and the ways traffickers exploit online platforms to lure young people. Through engaging school presentations and partnerships with local authorities, Krystyna and Talia work tirelessly to create awareness and provide resources for both children and parents.
This conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance and community support in protecting our youth. So, what can you do to help safeguard your community?
